THIS IS HOW WE O t Eureka College April 22, l94l Dear Folks: What a day! What a day! My candle burns at both ends, it will not last the night. CMy apologies to Edna St. Vincent Millay, but that's how I feel.l Did I ever tell you what I do all day? ffffflll bet you've Wonderedl This ought to-Iexplain why I don't write more and longer letters. Some virtuous dorm occupants rise for breakfast at 7, but l'll have to admit that I am not one of those. It's hard enough to get to class at 8. From 8 until 9:30 I am exposed to history and I ab- sorb as much of this as possible. This is not as easy as it sounds for spring is not a season which lends itself to study or concentration. Immediately after class is out, there is a mad dash to the business office. Yesterday, Red Thompson, who manages the office, was late, as usual, and I couldn't plow through the milling mob to get a stamp: consequently, no letter came. I hope this one makes up for it. Everybody has to have their mid-morning snack in the form of Kleins Toasted Almond, Planter Peanuts, etc. This is gener- ally known as the Pause that Re- freshesf' The office also runs a big business in gum. Then there is the coke machine. I don't know what we'd do without it on a hot day. It is convenient- ly located by the bulletin board so you can keep in touch with what is happen- ing. All this must be done in l0 minutes for three days a week we have chapel from 9:40 to 10. On Tuesday and Thurs- day the chapel is informal but on Wednesday we have a formal service. Immediately after chapel I have class again until ll. Some classes don't have this hour until afternoon, but I like a morning class much better. Chapel choir practice is next on the list of my activities. Vie meet twice a week to practice for our Wed esday convocationw' . WM Pftfffjltf QM

SCHQOL Then comes lunch, and an hour for leisure or study from l until 2. C'I'ime usually spent in blissful sleep.D If I wake in time, I go to gym prompt- ly at 2 and play badminton for an hour. A half an hour of chit-chat, and I proceed to my voice or piano lesson or practice and from there I usually squeak up the stairs to the library to do a bit of book storing. Alter dinner each evening, there are various and sundry meetings, play practices, honorary fraternities, sorority, and fraternity meetings and all such activities tincidentally, datesl. The dormitory doors close with final- ity at lO o'clock and most students be- gin to be studious. Of course a period of general hilarity with incidental food precedes this more serious mood. The time limit for this last period, known as intensive study, lasts to any unholy hour of the morning, unless, of course, you give up to sleep and go to bed like I am doing now- Sleepily, Doris ,M ylwbf X Mlmtl W tr K
